Part one:
I wear the cross, pose as your guide
In his own temple, is where I hide
I speak of hope, pervert the truth
Gain your trust, then lie to you

When you come and seek a savior
Don't be surprised by my behavior
Cause like my father, I'm the deceiver
Here to prey on all believers

Black priest in white chapel
Evil elder, sacred bethel
Black priest in white chapel

Corrupt our spirit, spoil your soul
Until I have complete control
Challenge your faith, I test your will
And when you break, the better still

When you come and seek a savior
Don't be surprised by my behavior
Cause like my father, I'm the deceiver
Here to prey on all believers

Black priest in white chapel
Evil elder, sacred bethel
Black priest in white chapel

I have my way once you are shorn
Of all defense you've now been torn
I take convenience here that you're frail
For you to see beneath the veil

When you come and seek a savior
Don't be surprised by my behavior
Cause like my father, I'm the deceiver
Here to prey on all believers

Black priest in white chapel
Evil elder, sacred bethel
Black priest in white chapel

Part two:
When you lay your head against me
For some comfort when you're faint
Won't be long as you're to soon see
You'll get no pious from this saint

Let me put my hands upon you
You'll be anointed when I'm through

Rejoice as you are of the chosen
I exalt those only that are chaste
Remove the shrouds that you have woven
Now take your innocence away

Let me put my hands upon you
You'll be anointed when I'm through

Oh my child, you are so blessed
Cherish the vestal they so pure
The young can be so weak and tepid
I'll be gentle rest assured

Let me put my hands upon you
You'll be anointed when I'm through

Part three:
I wear the cross, pose as your guide
In his own temple, is where I hide
I speak of hope, pervert the truth
Gain your trust, then lie to you

When you come and seek a savior
Don't be surprised by my behavior
Cause like my father, I'm the deceiver
Here to prey on all believers
